It can be hard to translate regular season success to the playoffs, but Westside had no problem doing just that on Saturday. They walked away with a 6-2 win over the Lonoke Jackrabbits. The Warriors have seen this before: they got the W the last time they saw the Jackrabbits, too.
Mckyna Craig spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered two runs (both of which were unearned) on one hit and racked up nine Ks. She has been consistent: she hasn't given up more than one earned run in eight consecutive appearances.
